Did you know?
- The word traducción shares the same root as the English word 'traduce'. While 'traduce' now means to speak badly of someone, it originally meant to lead someone across or transfer them.
- In many Spanish-speaking legal systems, a 'sworn translation' is called traducción jurada. This is a specific service where the translator is certified by the government to provide documents that have the same legal validity as the original.
- In Spanish, the words traducción and interpretación are strictly separated by medium. Using traducción to describe a live spoken performance is considered a linguistic error, whereas in English 'translation' is often used as a general term for both.
